DR.. Mackay, who was New York
correspondent of the London Times
during the war, was evidently shocked
by the blunt speech of President
Lincoln. He was invited to attend a
public reception at the White House,
"as the friend of the President and

Tall Stories.

When theatrical man and q veteran
of the late war meet and exchange ex-
periences, says the Philadelphia Press
gossipper, one can fairly expect some
thing of a quite measurable altitude in
the way of stories. Two such did meet
the other night. One was a comic opera
manager, and the other "B'vt Brig.
Gen, U. S. Vols " They exchanged
experiences as follows: at is a singular

Massage.

In nervous prostration and WEAKNESS
from overwork, the tendency OF the
blood is to leave the arteries and be-
come engorged in the veins. Massage,
rightly employed, aids in tn restoration
of the normal circulation, and thus helps
the system to right itself. The patient
is extended upon lounge or bed, and
the operator begins with one foot,
squeezing it gently with the hands as
though it were sponge filled with wa
ter and he was squeezing the water
from it, and working always towards
the heart The hands Of the operatcg
clasp the limbs with firm but gentle
grasp, and apply this squeezing, pinch
ing pressure all the way from the hands
and feet to where these limbs join the
body, not rubbing the skin, but press
ing and working the muscles under it.
The muscles of the chest, neck and abb
domen will receive the same treatment.
Then the patient gives his back to the
operator. All down the back are large
veins, and these become engorged with
blood The operator kneads and
pinches and squeezes and presses all the
muscles of the back for long time, UNI
til pink tint fushes the skin. All
about the face, the neck, the back Of
the neck especially, there are many
veins, and the muscles which they
traverse are thoroughly handled until
the circulation is free. The patient soon
begins to find relief, and sinks to sleep
or into delicious disposition to lie
still and rest, which disposition will DO
encouraged as long as it lasts. = New

their strange discovery.
The diamonds were turned over to the
clerk of the court, and were largely ad-
vertised. Numerous claimants made
their demands for their surrender, but
not proving their claim properly, failed
to get the briliants.
Months went on, and Niece thought
sadly of his lost ranbows in his lonely
hours, while Gerome pondered over the
amount of the reward the little fellow
might eventually receive. One day
Niece was crying softly all alone in the
cherries attic, when the door opened,
and in rushed Gerome, followed by the
magistrate and several other gentlemen.
"The owner of the diamonds has been
found, Niccom cried Gerome, hugging
his small brother excitedly, 'and he is
going to take care of you now. That is
to be your reward, and hereafter we can
have more food, more clothes"
"And more sunshine" asked the ear
nest little voice "PIease, sir'--to the

pretty stones, but l think they must be
in the sunshine, after all.
But the sunshine in his heart was a
rainbow of promise in his future life. -

Fleeing AN OLD FARMER.
TWO CUNNING BUNoo MEN ROB HIM OF
$4,000 IN CASH.

Bunco men of Lancaster, Pa, feece0
another victim, Jacob Rohrer, prom
lnent and wealthyold farmer out Of
$4,000. Rohrer, who had business in
that place, came here. When he was
about to leave he was approached by a
well dressed young man who gave his
name as Bausman, and said he was a
nephew of Jacob Bausman, prominent
and wealthy citizen. He also said he
was employed in the Farmers Bank.
This statement attracted Rohrer's at
tention, and he was asked to accompany
the young man on the pretense that he
was distributing agricultural libraries
worth $40 free of charge. Rohrer con
sented, and was conducted to private
room on Queen street, where he was
met by another man, about forty-fve
Years old, and who was introduced.
The trio had short talk about the agrt-
cultural library. Finally the elder pro-
duced a pack of cards. Rohrer seemed
to be completely taken in, and before he
knew it the sharper announced that he
had drawn $4,000, and the money was
counted down on the table. Just then
there was a halt, and the bunco men
asked Rohrer for evidence of his respon-
sibility, and he went and had a note IN
dorsed and discounted, and produced
5000 in money.
When he had counted it out on the
table the elder bunco steerer grabbed
the whole pile and said Rohrer had lost
the money. Some hot words ensued,
but after being assured that the money
was safe Rohrer, accompanied by the
Young man who pretended that he had
SS2OO0, also went ont and took walk.
The young man then excused himself,
saying he would soon return with bond
70 secure Rohrer from loss. He came
not, and the rich old farmer has learned
!. lesson which he viii doubtless never
a1o'get. The rascals have not been seen
sHnce.

Where the Rainbows Hide
BY IMOGENE II. SYKES.

In a small room under the caves of a
tall tenement house, where only stray
CLEANS of sunshine could steal in to
brighten its baroness and poverty, two
boys were eating their simple meal of
bread and cheese, moistened with water
from tin cup.
The eldest lad was about fourteen,
strong and able bodied, though his
brown checks and slender hands looked
as if bread and cheese were not the most
nourishing food for a growing boy
having to earn his own living and that
of little brother. He looked at the
little fellow as he put his last crumbs into
his mouth, and the thought struck him
that he was indeed a little fellow
stunted, pallid and hollow-eyed; and a
sigh was smothered back as the poor
boy felt the fear come upon him that
maybe he would not be long in this big
world.
''You won't get lonely to- day, will
you, Niccog" he ashed, cheerily, as he
put away plate and tin cup on shelf in
the corner.
The wan face lit up wonderfully.
mot today" he cried with strange
eagerness, propping up his chin with
small, thin hand 'I-I think the
fairies will come to-day, Gerome."
"Can't you keep them for me to see?"
said his brother, with kind smile for
the child's fancy.
eyes; they will stay with me now, for
I found them, and they belong to me.
Gerome, l want to whisper something.
Stoop down, bother and listen"
The small face was all aglow with its
secret, and the big, brown eyes looked as
if they had seen the wonders of fairyIand
in very truth.
Gerome put down his implements Of
daily toll, and grayely bent his head to
listen.
81 know where the rainbows go when
they fade out Of the sky" whispered Mic
CO. exuItantly, in his ear. The fairies
showed me where they hide. You shall
see, too, Geromc, when you come home.
Don't stay too long"
Gerome brushed his sleeve across his
eyes as he slung his blacking-box over
his shoulder and went down the long,
steep stairs. "Poor little chapp he
said to himself. ''He believes in his
fairies and dreams, and is happy IN
thinking of the good times coming to
us. But it is just as we'll, perhaps, for
him to think so, for he can't work for
his bread with his poor weak back, and
with no one to look after him all day in
that room half up in the sky. He'd be
lonely enough without his fairies"
The day went on in its usual routine
and Gerome piled his brush Industrious
". But thoughts of the lame boy in the
attic, sitting all the day long at the high
window so near the clouds he loved to
weave his fancies from, broke in upon
his work with persistent recurrence, and
finally made him drop his brush an hour
or two before his usual time, and, seat
ing himself on his box, sank into a rev
erie.
"The fairies have told him where the
ranbows hide, - he unused. 'Poor little
chap! What does he mean2 His head
is full of such imaginings, and that's
why it aches so much"
He looked up at the spire of the tall
church opposite him. The sun was gid
ing the cross on its tor.

In the Spring.

Have all the songs been saida
Are all the singers deadl
Is all the music feda-
The sum and aim of life
One dreary struggle, rife
With greed and sordid strif
Man but dull machine,
Living vast routine
Of narrow purpose meant
Oh! while one leaf swings high
Against an azure sky
In springtime's ecstasy.
There breathes yet the sublime,
There beats yet living rhyme,
It's still the young worlds prime.
Nature has high commands.
Bears gifts with lavish hands
To him who understands.
